From the above we may draw the following
conclusion: That In any given locality the
average temperature for the month OF March
is so degrees or above, corn may be safely
Than As degrees 1t would be unwise to put the
seed in the ground. Now, If a farmer has a
thermometer (as every one should) and re.
cords the highest and lowest temperatures OF
the air each day (say at two o'clock and at
sunrIse), and strikes an average OF ali, he can
approximate quite closely the average tenn
peratnre OF the upper layer OF the surface
soil. In many localities the avetage tempera:
lures OF the different months can be learned
from observations already made by signal Of
fee and other observers. Trne, experience
n pretty well settled about the right time In
each ca locality when particular crop should
the average temerature OF the first or second
half OF March may vary three or four degrees.
An invariable date for planting cannot be
fixed, and instead OF the hap-hazard way Of
would be better to learn definitely and ac-
curately that the soil was waIm enough to
bring 1t up promptly. Farmers use trees as
the "dogwood blossoms" or when the .pop-
lar leaf Is as large as squirrels ear" These
are useful signs. but why not use the ther-
mometer itself aud determine the matter
atill moro definitely. Gardeners and florists
regulate the temperature OF their green
houses by thermometers; why should not
farmer use the same instrument, in his call
be able TO heat the soil, except to very linn
ited extent, by fermentlng manures, but he
can find out when the sun has heated 1t suffi-
ciently. A good stand OF corn Is . matter Of
first importance; replanting Is very objec-
tionable. Every precaution, therefore, Un-
Guiding attention to emperature) should be
taken to have the crop come up promptly and
uniformly.
It was said above that farmer could not
warm up his land, but he can do something
In the snme direction by planting early corn
on southern slopes, because the suns heat
falls more perrendicularly upon their sur
faces. II farmer wants part of his corn
crop to mature very early. he can select for it
a southern slope, with rather light textured
but dark-colored soil

case, for which he received a fee Of
$4,000, and l do not think he opened

cate easily made the jury see it, and
that was more to the purpose. Some
months after, the case came up for

Col. r. II. Taylor, begged permission
OF the Court to suggest that since

as authorizing any common carrier within
the terms of this act to charge and receive
as great compensation for shorter as for
q longer distance: provided, however,
that upon application to the commission
appointed under the provisions of this act,
such common carrier may, in special
cases, after investigation by the commits
sion, be authorized to charge less for
longer than for shorter distances for
transportation of passengers or property:
and the commission may from time to
time prescribe the extent to which said
designated common carrier may be re
lieved from the operation of this section
